ALBUM RUINED

[Topaz]

Definitely can't wait to have this in my grubby little hands! 

[(PAUL)]

Just got a shipping notification from Revolve, ordered the CD with the shirt. Now lets see how long it takes it to arrive, from a place that is about 30 minutes from where I live.

[meezer]

Haven't listened. Ship it out already!

Not to any of the songs?? Surely you've heard the 3 that got previewed early?

I listened to Drugs On The Bus plenty 3 or 4 months back, Necklace Of Divorce once or twice on the 7" when I got it, but haven't checked out the stream yet. I'll wait if this would just get released soon.

Crystal Fairy gets the Pitchfork treatment... And they get a 7.7!

Can't you go pick them up and say hi?

[vince furnier]

of course I ordered the cd and vinyl + a shirt on one and then I realized I screwed myself yet again. pay for priority shipping because of the shirt, wait extra weeks for the cd because of the vinyl pressing delays. why did I do this again? don't answer that. 

[John Schuller]

I listened to the album in it's entirety last night. Took a few bong hits and dived in. I think this is easily the best HARD ROCK album to come out in at least a decade. Seriously. This album melted my face off. So much ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK.

[POOP GRENADE]

As with the Le Butcherettes catalog, I think these songs are due to get better after seeing them performed live. 

[))))((((]

Best song on this album?? Easy, it's 'Secret Agent Rat' all day for me! Awesome Buzzo riff alert! I wonder what Teri is singing about in that one. Anyone know any Spanish?

[Stonergrunge]

Anyone know any Spanish?

Come on Ian, you know I'm chilean... With that being said, her spanish reminds me a lot of Cedric's, a very poor one (obviously on purpose) with tons of grammatical errors and misspellings and most of the time what they say simply makes no sense... unless you take the lyrics as pure poetry. If I put a "..." it's because I don't understand what she's saying.


Secret Agent Rat
Congelaron con la arma del insulto de mi mar (it could be "mal", I'm not sure)
Centigrados de un acento
Lleva meses sin volar

Entre huecos de suspiro
No cabe el aire en mi mente
Estamos lleno de olvidos
Con la lava tu miseria (well, it sounds like she were saying lava)

No existe
El hacer (it could also be "El láser" but I don't think so)
Él come
Es su instinto
El pensar
No viene del hombre

Congelaron con la arma del insulto de mi mar (it could be "mal", I'm not sure)
Centigrados de un acento
Lleva meses sin volar

Entre huecos de suspiro
No cabe el aire en mi mente
Estamos lleno de olvidos
Con la lava tu miseria (well, it sounds like she were saying lava)

Sí se puede
En crecer (I'm not so sure about this part)
Ignorancia es la muerte
Ilumíname con el mundo de luz

Estuvieron con el tiempo
Un milagro celestial
Sin darse cuenta uno muere
En el llanto ooohhh

En este día me he dado cuenta
Que todos somos máquinas
No existe el hombre, él se ha ido
Con el agua y tu ... (sorry, I don't understand the last part)

En este lugar tan oscuro
Solo hay un Dios
Que nos pide, que nos pide
Que usemos nuestros poderes
Nuestros poderes
Nuestras alimentaciones

ALBUM RUINED

Not quite on this occasion but at the same time don't underestimate the effect something perceived as bad can have on a record. Freak Puke for instance. A fine Melvins album but Tommy Goes Berserk absolutely sucks. Or at least the first 3 minutes of it do. That easily ruins the record for me. I still enjoy Freak Puke of course but i always stop it after Let Me Roll It. Thank god it's the last track is all i can say.

Two truths:

1. To each his own.
2. You're deaf.

Seriously?! O_o I thought it was the best on the album when it came out o.o (Then I just grew to like more songs from it and it became harder to choose one favorite)
And no, it's not exactly a deal breaker, but it's... cringy.

Just heard Crystal Fairy's ST. Better than expected but not sure I'll feel the need to revisit it that much.
